We know this is a difficult time for many of us as Christmas plans with our families are affected. We hope you can join us on Christmas Eve for our Carols night and Christmas Day in person or from home as we remember why we celebrate Christmas. Let’s keep our eyes fixed on our loving Saviour and give him thanks for all he has done for us.

The staff at The Lakes want to wish you and your family a blessed Christmas. We pray that together we will grow in the knowledge of the Saviour’s love for us and seek to draw nearer to him through whatever 2021 brings our way. Thank you for walking this journey with us, we are grateful for every one of you.

We’re excited to bring you a series of short weekly videos called Marriage Connections by long-time Lakes members Colin and Joy Montiford. They recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary and over the years together have learned a few things about married life. They’ll be sharing tips to strengthen the bond with your spouse and to help you have a marriage that not only lasts the distance but does so with ever-deepening respect and love for each other.

Although the series targets married couples, the principals they talk about are relevant to any significant relationships in our lives. Have a watch of the first one which is a short intro to the series and stay tuned for the second video next Monday entitled Say thank you.
